Rules

Attributes

ISO 639-1 code specifying the language of text in this element. If a default language is specified in the iati-activity element it does not have to be repeated here.

This value should be on the Language codelist.

Example Usage

The narrative child element can be used to declare freetext for the description of a result.

        <description>
<narrative>Resultdescriptiontext</narrative>
                <narrative xml:lang="fr">Result texte de description</narrative>
        </description>

The narrative element can be repeated for any language additional to the default language set in iati-activity, by using the @xml:lang attribute:

        <description>
                <narrative>Result description text</narrative>
<narrativexml:lang="fr">Resulttextededescription</narrative>
        </description>
